The 2008 Republican National Convention today announced that planners have finalized the official convention hotel block. Roughly 16,000 rooms in more than 100 hotels throughout Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Bloomington, and the surrounding areas have been blocked to host many of the 45,000 delegates, alternate delegates, members of the media, and other guests expected to attend the four-day convention. Working closely with the Convention and Visitors Bureaus and the Minneapolis Saint Paul 2008 Host Committee, Committee on Arrangements (COA) staff secured the rooms for official convention use next September and will begin making hotel assignments in the spring.
